First-That every man must be at home at

Second-That married men should bestow
some attention on their own wives, &C., &c.

1t is said that not less than ten thousand
bottles per week are now required to meet the
demand for the newly introduced Lactart
Champagne, which is strong evidence that
this harmless drink is rapidly growing in
popularity. This is doubtless owing to the
fact that it is strictly non-alcoholic, and
thousands Of people who are rigidly opposed
to the use 10 any form of intoxicants, are
glad to obtain beverage which rivals the
imported champagne in nicely of favor, and
non-slcoholic. Lactart Champagne, more
over, is distinctly beneficial to the digestion,
and it is probably the most healthful and
pleasing beverage now before the American
people. The basis of this new beverage is

COAST DEFENcEs.
Admiral Porter Thinks Our Seaport
Towns Very Poorly Defended


W NAsHINGToS, ID, u, Oct- o.
In the annual report TO the secretary of the
navy, Admiral Porter points out the various
defects in the navy regulations, which rem
der themI some cases almost unintelhgible
and SUCCESS revision by board. He al
ludes to the high ability necessary for officers
of the Engineer Corps on which depends
the efficiency of ships of war; regards it
as hardly within the bounds of possibility,
that any man can can be good line officer
and marine officer.
In considering the question of marine de-
fenses, the Admiral states that the follow
ing harbors are entirely defenceless against
a single iron-clad; New York, Boston, San
Francisco, Lakeperth, Hampton Roads and
Norfolk, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Wash
ingnton, Baltimore Portland, Me, Rhode
Island ports. Key West, Charleston, Mobile,
Savannah, Galveston, Pensacola, Whining
ton, San Diego. Cal, and Portsmouth, \.
H., to say nothing of many other places of
greater or less importance. Two heavy iron
clads could commence at the eastern-most
point and proceed along the coast to Texas,
laying them all under contribution.
In time of war, says the Admiral, the tor
pedo system will be useless for de-
fense in the absence of proper Notifications
and guns. For the event of war, we are no
more prepared than we were a year or two
ago although We have made quite a begif-
ming to repair simply the waste in
our navy for the past twenty years.
In the opinion of the Admiral, the first
step toward the protection of the coast should
be the construction of squadron of heavy
ironclads that could be ready ut weeks no
tec to anchor off shore and resist the ap-
preaching enemy.
If defeated, this force could retire to the
protection of the forts, where, united, they
could afford more than twice the resistance
they could offer singly

MAINE DISPATCHES.
THE WRONG MAN.
How Two Men Fooled a Detective and
got the worst of it.

Dover, \. II. Oct. 81
Mnrty Maloney and Thomas Doherty of
Portland arrived at Dover Sunday evening
by the six o'clock train. While on the train.
they were observed by Detective Davis of
Portland, who was sitting in the next seat.
They wanted to play a practical joke on the
detective whom they knew, but to whom they
were strangers. They began talking about a
robbery in which they pretended to have been
implicated. The detective was going to Bos-
ton, but got off when Maloney and Doherty
did, and both were arrested but proved they
were only joking. They were held, however,
on the charge of intoxication and were dis
charged, Monday morning, with a caution not
to repeat the Joke"
